DottaandPaperclip	57e977be72	feat: integrate Pi 1.0 into the experimental Runner (#14921) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work. > - The experimental Runner owns provider processes and durable sessions. > - Pi needs working task execution and human controls. > - The five-PR stack must preserve changes already on master. > - Each layer now carries the complete integrated source for a safe sequential fallback. > - This PR belongs to native GitHub stack #15602, ending at #14956. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #14436, #14631, #14743 and #14956. Ship Pi 1.0 through the experimental Paperclip Runner. The five PRs are #14921, #14922, #14923, #14924 and #14956. The user authorized the complete merge after checks pass. Existing `pi_local` execution is unchanged. Accounting and wider provider/platform qualification remain deferred. ## What Changed - Recover missing final replies after workspace finalization changes owners, using accepted-turn evidence without rerunning work or granting external-chat publication. - Preserve the admitted Pi instruction root across warm runs, while retaining changed-root rejection. - Give Pi a bounded 15-second default shutdown grace so stop, drain acknowledgement and durable suspension can complete. Explicit deadlines and other providers retain their existing behavior. - Integrate the Pi 1.0 runtime and master contracts. - Use Pi profile 22. Preserve explicit caller-selected models and exact native thinking levels. Keep Pi's wrapper, helper, extension and question/control behavior unchanged from the qualified profile-19 runtime. - Preserve master's Dot lifecycle and consent fields, configured task environment, status guards and current Codex/Claude dependency versions. Cursor stays qualified. Copilot stays pending; profile 17 binds the changed shared protocol validation sources. - Exclude general AWS IAM credentials from Pi static/custom provider bindings and selected task projections; preserve the provider-scoped Bedrock bearer key. Profile 21 is retained as historical provenance. Rust and cloud install probes use the current declaration. - Patch bundled brace-expansion 5.0.9 to the exact official 5.0.12 payload. Pin the patch and complete runtime closures. Include the patch in normal installed setup tooling. Keep the upstream Pi shrinkwrap as provenance and permit only this exact security correction. - Include current attestation files in the Docker build context. Keep the repository lockfile unchanged from master. CI and private image builds resolve manifest changes before their frozen installation. ## Verification - Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` passes, including Runner Rust, server and UI. Focused integration checks pass: 194 Runner admission/environment tests, 63 profile/credential tests with one expected skip, 152 Dot/UI configuration tests, and Pi transcript/notice tests. - Full local `pnpm build` passes on the final source. - Fresh final-source checks pass: all 698 Rust workspace tests (32 binaries), 156 credential/profile/controller tests with one expected skip, Runner TypeScript typecheck, and 20 package/setup/sandbox tests. - The profile-21 Pi materializer passes on the native host with the official pinned Node 24.21.0 and its npm. It verifies all 150 locked packages, the patched dependency and the exact closure. Setup/package bundle tests and UI token gates pass. - The old hashes were reproduced for all three supported targets before calculating the patched graph. New closure hashes are darwin-arm64 `282022db10150c6632b3444df421342e7d534bdf5d5fb1097a2e79d0625a2bcf`, darwin-x64 `64e251e19009f755c0b04f73ce2138246faab71a961b0f13d75ebfcc34bef12e`, and linux-x64 `713b1fdff42fb56a1518bdc084f181d70bee8ebadc3e4b1d76321ed9108c8410`. Independent native platform execution is separate from graph identity reproduction. - Historical cloud qualification remains unchanged: all seven core cases pass on shipping source `10dc43c9ec65d88c2f782d62afb296d09494f215`, harness `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`, image `sha256:5b3a775b383591bda1b0c1889e509acc70ce7f37c53f09733c81d59037f02280`, and accepted Sonnet 4.6/low fixture. All 215 canonical files and all seven cleanup checks pass independent verification. These are profile-19 results and are not relabeled as fresh profile-22 runs. - Current Pi digest: `sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`. [The readiness plan](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/pi-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-02-pi-production-readiness.md) preserves campaign and failed-attempt provenance. - Merge only after every PR's current-head CI and fresh review pass. Linux CI covers the full suites, build and browser tests. The local embedded Postgres API-authority suite cannot start on this macOS/Node 26 host, so Linux CI must confirm that suite. ### Fresh profile-22 core qualification — 2026-10-08 All seven accepted core cases pass canonically on Pi profile 22, with `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed low thinking. This model is a fixture; production accepts the caller's explicit Pi provider/model. Runtime/install source: `3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401`. Frozen accepted harness: `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`. Immutable cloud image: `ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:506f22db7edd78f37c0c40bec1cc084af1850455026dbf467194bfbb8fcef141`. Pi digest: `sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`. [Hosted Linux image and clean-install verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868328023) passes, including all 20 source-bound archives, normal CLI/Pi setup, companion import and the production pack reader. This exact installation source includes the latest master integration and the corrected Pi warm instruction-root fence. Full local typecheck/build and current-head hosted CI verify the final stack. All 13 focused real-root regressions pass. The full local executor suite passed 662 tests; 15 database tests could not start the Mac embedded PostgreSQL service. Hosted Linux CI passes the full required verification and E2E checks. These fresh results keep their own source identity; profile-19 results remain historical. | Core path | Canonical campaign | Retained archive SHA-256 | | --- | --- | --- | | File edit, validation, download and Done | `pi-core22-replyfix-0-1791511228` | 23 files; `a473e8603a3dd4737863291f8d3d1e392391f0b16d433c3e0e0e9d8baf7a97b0` | | Pending question and controller restart | `pi-core22-replyfix-1-1791511376` | 33 files; `6b829c4eb74e1f32a89c692a4ae7130dbfc1c6d3cf13915effe2103d9e242c8e` | | Three-turn session/process/workspace continuity | `pi-core22-replyfix-2-1791511587` | 23 files; `7a87021f8f9a3fdd3c58bb4467f8d82c635e3ea4795d6e75f144d9aa14818df8` | | Four typed questions and browser reconnects | `pi-core22-replyfix-3-1791511881` | 42 files; `9e31755252be1f4f9cb0626c984c142d4d1ae5f5bee3a7af08444db8d12c280a` | | Plan approval and completion | `pi-core22-replyfix-4-1791512031` | 22 files; `a0383ce1aab38e7b5a25ce0e9dd3bebea5c037ebd96ae6b29dae19015da2ae2c` | | Same-turn steering and permission denial | `pi-core22-replyfix-5-1791512261` | 39 files; `c929b8c7070f0b66aedc17e65ca46e6beab1e363926ac9f7e2a75fb250f05949` | | Stop during pending permission | `pi-core22-replyfix-6-1791512390` | 33 files; `7f0a58ae0f4d5bfc76149435f4e322537089c5bd16e7ffe9b5ad71f10a621a07` | All 215 canonical files (28714587 bytes) are independently hash-verified. All seven cleanup grades pass, with no owned runtime process or temporary root after each case. Automatic retries are zero. The owned cloud host stopped normally after retention. The prior profile-22 warm attempt remains failed and separately retained: archive SHA-256 `1e54eba5ec72b50cee1534b23d1d1d4f21a090006b8a64501ba70db972abfde5`. Its original canonical classification is preserved. Diagnosis reproduced a product bug comparing an agent-files root against an unset checkpoint-only field. The fix stores the admitted physical root separately from the adopted per-run collection capability. The real-root regression fails before the fix and passes afterward, including rejection of a changed physical root. Fixture, grader, model and all seven accepted case IDs are unchanged; this fresh campaign tests final-reply publication after file registration first. The intermediate restart attempt also remains failed and retained: archive SHA-256 `5dcaefdf1d17cf4cd54fd4cf810f45e736667392339b8ce7caf08bb4e225277f`. Its original canonical classification is preserved. Pi resumed, wrote the verified answer and completed its task; exact runner suspension was proven, but idle stop consumed about 5.2s and left under 3s for the drain acknowledgement. The Pi-only default shutdown grace is now 15s, preserving a full 5s drain round trip and a finite suspension reserve. Explicit caller deadlines, other provider defaults, literal drain receipts and exact suspension identity checks remain unchanged. The timing regression fails before this correction and passes afterward; all 18 focused settlement tests and Runner typecheck pass. The final-source file attempt is also preserved as failed (`candidate_failure`), archive SHA-256 `db6767b6773ea618997927ac77bdb005a5ac81492c7b9c0ffbc900449f829bc9`. Native edit, validation, exact downloadable artifact and Done/succeeded all passed, and the exact final reply was durably recorded. A workspace recovery owner completed before the live heartbeat reached presentation, leaving that reply absent from task chat. Recovery now materializes only a completed final reply from the accepted turn of an ordinary internal Done task, preserving issue/run/contract binding, suppression, external-chat authorization and same-run deduplication. The database regression covers the generated file-preparation receipt, suppression, unapproved external continuation and replay. Server typecheck and all 49 response-selection tests pass; hosted Linux verifies the database regression because embedded PostgreSQL cannot start on this Mac. The delayed-final-answer database regression passes on [the final root-source Linux server shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868262553/job/113628594152), alongside 1,108 passing tests. The first root Runner shard had one unchanged durable-resume test exceed its 5-second timeout; the identical top-source shard and the isolated exact test passed. One rerun of that failed job and its required aggregate passed without source or test changes. The original failed job log and the single-rerun receipt remain retained. ### October 9 merge verification Current merge head: `5a8fe63512a7166aaef5cf50065a25008aa8b44b`. All current-head checks pass, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`; exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Current master conflicts are resolved. The user authorized the maintainer override of the code-owner review gate after these checks. The seven retained live core cases remain bound to source `3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401` and its recorded cloud image. ## Risks - The security correction changes the dependency closure and profile identity. Old sessions must reopen on the new profile. Exact identities and credential bindings fail closed. - The runner remains experimental and requires explicit selection. Legacy Pi Local is unchanged. Caller model IDs pass through; the E2E model is a fixture. - Accounting and the broad platform/provider matrix remain deferred. This merge does not publish a release or deploy a service. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with reasoning, repository inspection, editing and tool use. The exact serving ID and context window are not exposed in this session. Final live qualification uses Pi 1.0.0 with `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed low thinking. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-10-09 08:56:41 -05:00
DottaandPaperclip	dd777f4b73	feat(dot): complete onboarding and expand governed Runner capabilities (#15414) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents, their work, and their permissions. > - Paperclip Runner supplies the same admitted tool authority to each provider. > - The Dot provider in #15402 needs reliable onboarding and useful agent capabilities. > - An idle Dot could not start work, assign a human, read skills, or produce a workspace artifact. > - Pairing also relied on a second configuration save before ordinary admission could work. > - This pull request adds governed idle admission and shared Runner tools, and completes pairing atomically. > - Operators can test Dot with fresh data while keeping normal company, approval, budget, and run ownership checks. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Subsystem affected** Paperclip Runner, dedicated Dot MCP access, OAuth onboarding, experimental settings, and empty worktree startup. This PR builds on merged provider PR #15402. It reuses the merged MCP gateway from #14846 and assistant connection work from #14933 and #15380. **Problem or motivation** An idle Dot could see assignments but could not act on a conversation request until someone created a task first. Its Runner catalog could not assign tasks to humans or read pinned skills and workspace files. First-time OAuth discovery and pairing also needed browser fixes, and a completed pairing did not persist its binding reference on the agent. **Proposed solution** Keep Dot within the existing Runner. Admit a visible agent-authored intake task for idle requests. Add people, human assignment, cross-task, skill, and optional sandbox workspace tools through shared authority. Relay assigned app calls through the configured MCP gateway. Add lease renewal and follow-up references. Save pairing and its configuration revision atomically. Show prerequisites and provide a complete copy prompt. **Roadmap alignment** This extends the experimental provider in #15402. It uses the existing governed gateway, task model, skills, artifact path, and native Runner. It adds no separate execution subsystem. ## What Changed - Add a standalone OpenAI Dot agent choice with an independent experimental opt-in. It works with the general Runner option off. Require Assistant connections (MCP), authenticated sign-in, and public HTTPS for pairing. - Use Dot’s own option for company package import. Allow an unpaired Dot configuration to save after external billing acknowledgement; task admission still requires pairing. Prepare the shared dev binary for Dot-only opt-in. - Label saved Dot agents as OpenAI Dot. Use prerequisite-check copy in setup and runtime configuration. - Route Dot creation directly to pairing after explicit external billing acknowledgement. Hide local CLI, model, and harness setup for Dot. Preserve the shared Runner implementation and canonical API type. Other Runner providers still require their general opt-in. - Add an empty worktree option with fresh signing keys and no production data copy. - Fix public-client OAuth negotiation, discovery compatibility, and optional separate browser authorization origin. - Add one-use pairing consent preview, clear copied setup instructions, and atomic binding persistence and cleanup. - Add idle request admission with stable request IDs and normal scheduling, permissions, budgets, and task ownership. - Add identity and people discovery, human task assignment and reassignment, and authorized cross-task comments and documents. - Read assigned skill files from pinned manifests. Relay assigned app calls through the merged gateway without exposing credentials. - Add an off-by-default workspace bridge. Constrain paths and writes. Run commands in a deny-by-default OS sandbox with no network or injected credentials. Reserve mutations before effects and never blindly repeat uncertain work. - Add rolling lease renewal, task pagination, bounded operation limits, and deduplicated follow-up references without comment bodies in webhooks. - Add an off-by-default attachment reading setting. Restrict reads to files on the current assigned task. Verify size and hash, cache bounded verified copies per run, paginate text or binary bytes, and recheck live authority before returning. - Keep file grants operator-owned. Reject agent self-grants across configuration routes. Preserve attachment consent in create/import forms. Close generic API file bypasses while retaining current-run response snapshots and permitted uploads. - Keep provider limits explicit. Do not inherit a Dot binding, attachment permission, or workspace permission when hiring another agent. - Include the required Markdown format in cross-task document writes and validate the API title limit. Verify real creation and revision persistence. - Restrict command execution to Linux bubblewrap with descendant containment. macOS retains workspace file tools and artifact publishing, while refusing command calls. Explain the platform limit in setup. - Exclude Paperclip instance state from workspace files, uploads, artifact publication, and sandbox commands. Protect nested directories and case variants. Fail closed when the directory protection scan exceeds 4,096 directories. - Add static UI compression for slow public tunnels. Document setup, the complete tool inventory, and qualification limits. ## Verification - Merge preparation on `00ca2c75b` integrates merged base #15402 and master `fc6304dfe`. The ancestry commit preserves the reviewed follow-up source tree. The subsequent security fix excludes instance state from file tools, uploads, artifact publication, and sandbox commands. It preserves private task authorization and task monitors. It regenerates the combined tool catalog, seeded catalog digest, and protocol manifest. Workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. All sixteen real Dot broker cases and 93 company import cases pass after the review fixes and creator-attribution test correction. The exported human-assignment catalog and Unicode page boundaries are also fixed. All ten catalog tests and nine workspace/skill bridge tests pass. All 35 workspace bridge and authority tests passed after the instance-state fix, including real macOS commands in that intermediate version. The subsequent document and descendant-containment fixes pass 44 focused tests across bridge, authority, and setup UI, with six Linux command cases skipped on macOS. Real cross-task documents pass the route validator and persist two revisions. macOS refuses command execution and does not advertise the tool. Full workspace typecheck and build, changed server/UI typechecks, and token gates pass again on the final commit. Greptile rates final head 00ca2c75b 5/5 and its completed check concludes success; all review threads are resolved. All 58 current-head checks are complete: 54 passed and 4 intentionally skipped. This includes full tests, typecheck, build, Runner, browser E2E, release verification, and Canary Dry Run. The older full local root attempt finished with 16,602 passes, 93 skips, and ten failures across two suites: it began before source edits and retained earlier imported implementations while loading later tests. Both suites pass a clean final-head rerun (25 passed, six Linux-only command cases skipped on macOS). This mixed-source full attempt is not a final-head full-suite pass; use the fresh CI evidence below. - Full workspace typecheck and build pass for the standalone Dot change on head `392d54f80`. UI token gates are clean. The full workspace typecheck passed before the final importer UI edit; the changed UI typecheck, build, and token gates pass again on the final commit. The server build passes for its unchanged final source. - Standalone selection, creation, settings, harness visibility, inventory, and runtime admission checks pass. OAuth onboarding and the real Rust/PostgreSQL broker suite pass 27 cases with the general Runner option disabled. Dot and MCP revocation still block pairing; other Runner providers remain disabled. Create, hire, conversion, and inherited-hire route regressions pass 68 cases. The runtime selection suite passes 20 cases. The setup UI suite passes 50 cases. Company import and dev binary checks pass 97 cases. Import UI checks pass 29 cases, including Dot-only selection, preservation of imported Dot agents, generic Runner fallback, canonical configuration serialization, and required billing acknowledgement. A read of the synthetic instance reports the native binary required with Dot enabled, the general rollout disabled, and no persisted native work. - The latest attachment, operator-consent, generic API file-guard, and bridge checks pass 80 tests. Cache and native lifecycle checks pass 550 tests; create/import builders pass 45 tests; attachment setup UI checks pass 16 tests. The real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot broker suite passes 15 cases. - Earlier authority, human assignment, pinned skill, confinement, cancellation, inheritance, onboarding, replay, OpenAPI, and gateway regressions pass their focused rechecks. Workspace writes reject concurrent stale hashes. - In the live empty test-drive, turn the general Runner option off and leave Dot and MCP on. Add agent shows a separate OpenAI Dot choice. Create rejects missing billing acknowledgement, saves the canonical Dot configuration, and opens pairing. The existing paired Dot remains ready and passes its prerequisite checks. No new plugin pairing was needed for this UI change. The final browser import preview keeps a Dot source agent as OpenAI Dot, falls back a generic Runner agent while its switch is off, and offers Dot independently. - Real Dot completed OAuth, signed MCP Events readiness, and an event-only assigned document task in an empty synthetic instance. Pairing saved its binding without a second configuration save. - Real Dot verified human assignment, cross-task comments and documents, pinned skill reading, sandbox commands, lease renewal, follow-up input, and a downloaded artifact whose bytes and hash matched its receipt. An idle conversation request created an intake, created a task for its human owner, continued after a definite missing-file read error, and finalized Done with exit code 0. - After operator approval, real Dot read a synthetic assigned-task attachment and wrote its file-only random proof into an agent-authored document. Its first test required accepting review because the existing document tool removed the final newline. - On head `2626c8f9b`, real Dot read a 13,849-byte synthetic attachment in two pages, used `expectedSha256` on page two, saved exactly its final random marker, verified readback, and finalized Done with exit code 0. A direct inbox check was required for this attachment qualification; it does not claim event-only delivery. - Previous head `392d54f80` passes all 55 checks (53 passed, two intentionally skipped), including the full test, typecheck, build, native Runner, browser, and release verification gates. Greptile rates this head 5/5; all review threads are resolved. - Head `2626c8f9b` passed all 56 checks: 54 passed and two intentionally skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, native Runner, server tests, serialized suites, browser E2E, and Canary Dry Run. The unchanged Cursor managed-runtime test exceeded its five-second deadline on the first attempt; its focused local suite passed all eight cases, and the single CI rerun plus dependent verify gate passed. - A prior full local serial test attempt reported 19 failures (16,141 passed, 88 skipped) and stopped before later wrapper groups. It began before the final source edits. Every failed suite has a passing fresh recheck; the macOS snapshot stress case passes alone in 227 seconds. The previous head `000fb9261` passed all 56 CI checks. PRs leave `pnpm-lock.yaml` unchanged; CI and the refresh bot own dependency resolution. ## Risks - Dot remains off by default. Its own opt-in does not enable other Runner providers. It still requires the MCP option; disabling Dot blocks new work while keeping existing recovery and saved bindings. - Dot requires a stable public HTTPS origin. Its base provider in #15402 is merged. Temporary tunnels are useful for testing but are not permanent deployments. - Idle intake creates a visible agent-authored task. It does not fabricate a human message or bypass ordinary admission. - Workspace commands require Linux bubblewrap with a private PID namespace; deployment qualification is still needed. macOS file tools and artifact publishing remain available, but commands are disabled because sandbox-exec does not contain detached descendants. There is no unrestricted fallback. Command protection fails closed above 4,096 workspace directories. The historical macOS command walkthrough does not qualify the current Linux implementation. - Provider model choice, token usage, cost, native thread control, and global external stopping remain unavailable. Known Paperclip budget gates still apply. - The workspace bridge and attachment reader are separate opt-in settings. Reading assigned task files sends their contents to OpenAI. Revocation prevents future reads but cannot withdraw bytes already sent. Files are read on request; automatic inbound attachment staging remains disabled. - An existing event registration can retain earlier instructions that prohibit extra tasks. Dot asked for permission before a second intake after the final event-only bootstrap; that extra no-nudge continuation is not live-qualified under that earlier registration. The later attachment qualification submitted normally through the composer. The revised onboarding prompt describes the new idle entry point, and its protocol polling path is tested. - OpenAI event delivery can be delayed; a webhook acknowledgement is not proof that Dot has begun work. - A running Dot can retain an old plugin catalog after tool refresh. Refresh and actual tool exposure must be checked before using new top-level actions. - Hosted and remote controller modes are not qualified. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window size are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning, repository editing, code execution, test inspection, and browser control. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either linked existing issues or described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links - [x] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass (focused suites and all fresh failure rechecks pass; the earlier full attempt is disclosed above) - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-10-07 19:44:17 -05:00
DottaandPaperclip	7944ed3d97	fix(runner): preserve hire runtime safety and first-activity timing (#13852) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source control plane for companies of AI agents. > - Native runner agents need governed tools, durable runtime state, and useful execution evidence. > - A first activity trace waited 53.467 seconds even though tool activity took 6.274 seconds; provider input arrived before the server API call executed. > - Native agents also need a safe way to hire teammates without asking the model to rebuild runtime configuration. > - This pull request separates the observed ACP input-stream window from the actual server `tool.execute` span and adds a server-owned native hire contract. > - The benefit is clearer latency evidence and safer native teammates with existing approval, auth, and company boundaries preserved. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Related Daytona provenance work is in [#13814](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13814). No duplicate public PR was found for this combined timing and native-hire change. **What existing behavior does this improve?** Native runner agents can use governed tools and request hires. The server did not expose a safe native hire operation that reused the caller's validated runtime settings. First-activity traces also mixed provider input timing with server tool execution timing. **Current behavior** A native hire must construct a separate runner configuration. Full configuration copying could expose paths, instructions, secrets, or sessions. Timing evidence could make a provider or MCP identity join appear proven when the trace did not contain that join. **Proposed behavior** The native `hire_agent` operation accepts identity and persona inputs. The server sends `adapterType: "paperclip_runner"` with `inheritRuntimeFrom: "caller"`, then copies only validated provider, model, permission, lifecycle, and bounded execution settings. It inherits and validates the default environment, derives the managed AI binding through existing normalization, preserves approval and permissions, and creates fresh child instructions. Caller secrets, paths, prompts, and sessions are excluded. Provider events now include the optional boolean `inputUpdated`, with Rust forwarding support. Timing evidence separately records the ACP input-stream window and the actual server `tool.execute` activity. It does not claim a provider or MCP join without matching evidence. **Reason and benefit** Native agents can hire teammates that start with the caller's approved execution policy. Operators retain company boundaries, auth rules, approval gates, and requalification. Reviewers can distinguish provider streaming time from server API execution time when diagnosing first-activity delays. **Breaking changes** None for existing hires or tool calls. `inheritRuntimeFrom` is optional and only applies to same-company native agent callers. Conflicting explicit runtime settings are rejected. The provider event field is optional for existing producers. ## What Changed - Added the native `hire_agent` protocol action, catalog entry, API contract, and runner authority checks. - Added `inheritRuntimeFrom: "caller"` validation and a closed native runtime inheritance allowlist. - Preserved managed AI binding normalization, default-environment validation, approval snapshots, permissions, requalification, and fresh child instructions. - Added provider `inputUpdated` schema support and Rust forwarding. - Added first-activity and server tool timing evidence with conservative identity-join handling. - Added route, authority, provider-event, sidecar, API, catalog, and Rust-focused tests. - Kept private Honeycomb links, raw traces, and local result paths out of this description. ## Verification Focused checks passed: - 458 timing/session checks. - 61 native hire inheritance checks. - 20 hire authority checks. - 1,741 API checks. - 106 catalog checks. - 54 provider sidecar checks. - 12 Rust provider checks. Live R2 and R3 each passed 45 checks across 6 runs (361,135 ms for R2). R1 stopped at missing Docker image setup. The final trace is available at https://ui.honeycomb.io/paperclip/environments/test/datasets/paperclip/result/BiMypLNvmiB?tab=traces. Latest-head CI passed all required build, typecheck, Rust, static, Vitest, serialized-server, workspace, chat, and E2E jobs. The focused local checks listed above passed; the broad local suite was not run before the live evaluation, while CI provides the full repository verification. ## Risks - Timing fields describe separate observed windows. They do not prove a provider or MCP owner without a valid trace join. - The inheritance allowlist must stay synchronized with native runner configuration fields. - Approval snapshots include resolved safe inherited settings and should be reviewed when native configuration fields change. - The focused local suite is narrower than the full repository suite; latest-head CI covers the broader repository checks. > Roadmap review: `ROADMAP.md` places this work within Paperclip's bring-your-own-agent direction. It extends existing native runner hiring and observability behavior. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 (exact serving model ID is not exposed), with extended reasoning and repository tool use; GPT-5.6 Luna assisted with focused implementation and verification work. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-09-22 23:16:11 -05:00
